DRAFT DEFINITION
Field desorption

This term is used to describe the formation of ions in the gas phase from a material deposited on a solid surface (known as an "emitter") in the presence of an electric field. As this process probably encompasses ionization by field ionization as well as other mechanisms of ionization the term "field desorption" is not a precise one, despite its widespread acceptance.

Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission
